The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Vizsla Silver said 10 workers have been abducted from its mining project in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, a region that has been gripped by cartel violence. The Globe's Jeffrey Jones writes that in a statement on its website, Vancouver-based Vizsla said local authorities have been notified and that the company's security response and crisis management teams "are actively engaged." Vizsla did not provide the nationalities of those taken captive at the site, near the city of Concordia. It said some activities at the Panuco silver-gold project have been suspended as a precaution. It is Vizsla Silver's only project. In a statement to The Globe, the company said it had no other details to provide. The Canadian embassy in Mexico is in touch with Mexican authorities, Global Affairs spokesman Thida Ith said. "At this time, we are not aware of any Canadian citizens impacted by this incident." The Sinaloa Attorney-General's Office said in a statement that it received a 911 call from the mining company's legal representative on Jan. 24. It is investigating the disappearance of the 10 people by private individuals, and is co-ordinating with state and federal authorities.
